I tried HoN, and I think that the developers dont listen well to the community.
With dota, we debate about balance all the time, and this debates sorted out by moderators later lead to balancing by IceFrog.

It's a little bit different with HoN with their balance team which more often than not fail to adhere to all of the issues regarding balances.(late rebalances are norm)
There are even cases of favoritism among the balance team.

All in all, I think IceFrog handles the balance of the game and feedbacks from the community better than HoN, and not just because I feel more at home with dota.

I think most casual players dont like deny mechanics.just my 2posen.

Lulz...the title have LoL too now.
It was just Dota2 vs HoN the first time.

Anyway, I stand firm that Dota2 is better just cos the developer is better at hearing the community.
Just look at HoN.Ppl has been clamoring that its unfair to have limited hero pool, but they still do it for profit.
I believe that Valve as developers are better listeners, and wont go against the voice of majority.(and their decisions are surely wont be purely profit driven)

imo the idea behind LoL is "Everyone is imba, so no one is truly imba".
The ethos behind that in itself is so skewed.

I could play AP Sion and almost KO any hero in 2 sec nuke burst every single time.

my point is, you cant do that in dota.
2 sec nuke burst and a hero is down to 10% of his life if not dead.
Deathfire Grasp is by far the most imbalanced item in LoL.

What a fallacious statement.
Are you some kind of lol fanboy?
pa is a late game agi carry, we are debating over how imbalance LoL version of dagon which scales late game and great even against tanks.
